Analysis of Dreams

Kelvin Williams 2003 (Bayelsa,Yenagoa)



Dead but alive
Unreal but true
What a wonderful phase,
At night it arrives
A day in the night
Sometimes like a craze,
The things I see
A cow in the trees
Really does amaze,
Then thoughts arise
Is this wrong or right
Bad or pleasant taste,
Then it leaves at it's pace
Winning every race
When the sun arrives.
